[quote]so you bite your nose to spite your face[/quote]
The expression actually is that one would [b]cut off [/b]their nose to spite their face, but no... There's nothing on IMDB that can't be garnered from any other site and I'm missing nothing by not using that site. It's just that Google returns IMDB pages at the top of the list for just about any search for a movie or actor.
Using the Firefox extension, there's no chance of me accidentally clicking on an IMDB link and helping their traffic, regardless of how insignificant my searches are in the grand scheme of things.
So the satisfaction of blocking IMDB is far greater than anything I might potentially lose by not using them. It's a win for me..
The only way I'll see a movie in the theater is if it's free.
Since the last election cycle, my wife and I have been called misogynists, homophobes, xenophobes, and racists (and we're black....).
I'm sure Hollywood doesn't want money from deplorable people like us, so between my VPN and android streaming box, we see what we want at home.
The picture and sound are better, the food is superb, the bathrooms are spotless, and if we miss a word, we can back up the movie.
Thanks Hollywood for motivating me.
I refuse to use IMDB.
I have an extension in Firefox (how I get on the internet) that will block any URL I choose from being returned in a Google search.

So if I search a movie, IMDB results get removed before I see it.

And it wasn't just the four thousand... the gamblers who provided the payola for the fix would have lost 10X that much money on bets. They would be royally pissed...
Only one: Will Farrell.
There has never been a more unfunny "funny" person. He has no talent, no charm, and he's not funny. Other than that he's great..
Edit: moviemancin2 has a great list..
Likely all three. He's been posting the same crap trying to incite comments other than those that point out what a total ass he is...

I wish we had a "like" button to push...
My wife loves Willoughby, presuming of course that as he steps off the train, he's leaving his high pressure job and that shrew of a wife, and now exists forever and always in that quiet, quaint town to live in peace. So while Gart's life was a downer, he finds happiness in his next life.
Since he's shown walking around *after* he stepped off the train, that's the ending we believe was intended.
[quote]He (Rhett) was very controlling and threatened her (Scarlett) with violence. He also may have raped her. [/quote]
Well, I'd take a threat over getting slugged anytime. Rhett may have been full of bluster but Scarlett struck Rhett, Prissy, Suellen, and Ashley. Double standard?
Regarding the "rape" scene, it was not a rape in the 1800s, it's a rape today, 5 years from now a kiss will be a rape, 20 years from now speaking to a woman without her first speaking to you will be a rape..
A lot of people complain that Mamie and Pork stayed with the O'Haras even after they were emancipated, but a lot of freed slaves did that. Some struck out on their own or were literally tossed out and paid the price with starvation and disease. Many others stayed with those bankrupt plantations if only to have a place to sleep and something to eat.
Getting.. tough.. to ... breathe...
What the *f* is wrong with you?
People also forget that slavery preexisted before America was founded. While some of America's forefathers were slave owners and indeed saw nothing wrong with it, many were uncomfortable with it while some hated it. In any case, trying to form a coalition of independent colonies in to a united Colonial front against the Crown would have been impossible if taking slavery off the table in the south was part of the deal.
America was founded with the cancer of slavery already deeply entrenched. To finally end slavery, hundreds of thousands were dead, the south lay in ruins both physically and financially, and a million (reportedly) black people died of starvation and disease (how many knew that) during reconstruction as a direct result of the Thirteenth amendment.
America had and has it's sins but eventually does the right thing and will continue to do so as long as the Constitution can be upheld. Once the Constitution is overthrown (it will, I guarantee it), then all guarantees of personal freedom will fall.

Sure, read the third paragraph of my post again...
I feel like I'm in an elevator with Rosie O'Donnell and Tom Arnold...
Gaaaak... I'm melting, I'm melting...
